Citizen Soldier was born when front man Jake Segura penned the lyrics to one of their first songs from a psychiatric hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. Segura now sits on the other side of the therapy couch, working as a trauma counselor to tell the stories of those navigating internal struggles through no-frills alt/rock post/grunge packaging. The Utah five piece – Jake Segura (lead vocals), Wonitta Rivero (bass/piano) Kyle Persell (drums) Kooper Hanosky (rhythm guitar) & Matt Duffney (lead guitar) don’t tip toe around the ugliest parts of life & masterfully communicate what many struggle to put into words. They do so via soaring melodic power balladry, infectious instrumental hooks & gut-punching storytelling.
